yeah, Alex Miller is a bit of an idiot! It's all because they sacked Stahre at the end of last season, he went to Panionios I believe, and then Miller was drafted in. Honestly, Miller couldn't even manage a sunday league side He signed Helgi Danielsson who's been surplus to requirements, and Turina hasn't been a decent keeper, so it's all gone wrong for them. But the worst possible move before the start of this season, was let go of Ivan Obolo and Miran Burgic

yeah I do follow them! I'm actually on an AIK forum as well as this one. Such a shame they're not doing so well this season having won the allsvenskan last year!

och det är också kul att se en annan människa som följa den bästa lag i världen I'm only allowed to speak English on here but I thought I'd say that

Hej hej!! välkommen! Jag pratar svenska welcome to talk chelsea Emma

welcome to talk Chelsea mate, hope you can stick around!

Essien isn't actually a bad call seeing as he captained the side against Ajax in pre-season

I reckon this should be our side... Cech Ferreira - Alex - Ivanovic - A.Cole Essien - Ramires/Mikel Benayoun Anelka - Drogba © - Malouda I think we can still benefit on the solidity of our defence. Essien can drop and protect the back four when required (or Mikel can do that), then you have the pace of Ramires and Benayoun. I would really like to see Ramires against West Ham next month

Why is it that whenever we're bidding for players, we get on the wrong side of everyone! Although I'd say a £7 million + Ross Turnbull sounds like a rather do-able deal IMO.

Bosingwa trained with the Chelsea squad on Friday, so hopefully, he's making a speedy recovery. As for the CB position at the moment, I don't think we need anyone. We have plenty of options at the back in case one or two players gets injured. Brano plays right back and centre back, we have Alex and Terry as world class centrebacks, and we have the best left back in the world in Ashley Cole, with Yuri Zhirkov as a rather impressive second choice.

100% after 3 games :D 2-0, not a big scoring win, but it's a win! 9 points

shame they can't have played in the same midfield

Get in Drogba!!! 2-0 :D

No Ramires??

Glenn Whelan off the crossbar!! Fucking hell

Hmmm.. would really like this to be 2-0 now!!

Essien cleared off the line from Etherington didn't he??

Come on Chelsea!!! Goals galore second half ... well, we can all hope

Those stats look really good for the first half. From those it looks like Stoke have hardly done anything!

Half time, all Chelsea according to Paul Merson. Wish we were up by more goals. If Lamps had scored the penalty it would be 2-0 right now, but we were 1-0 up against Wigan at half time last week before we went and got 5 more goals in the second half!! Come on Chelsea!!!! Let's score some more goals and get 3 more points!!!

totally agree with you!! As long as we get three points, I don't care how many goals we score, or what Arsenal or United do! Unfortumately we can't see the game live today but I hope Ramires can come on and show us all why he's come to Chelsea!

I did! He kept letting in goals for Stade Rennais, suddenly, in his first season, he was... well, the rest is history to be honest :eyebrows:

it's such a shame we have to loan Mancienne out again! He's a homegrown player after all, and it's those types of players we still need. I don't think returning to Wolves will improve his game, but I hope he does well there anyway. He will need all the experience he can get there so he can return to us with experience under his belt.

Happy Birthday mate! Have a good one!

Sheikh Mansour and Mowgli

this group could have been a lot worse... I'll be hoping to get tickets to either MSK Zilina or Marseille oh and by the way, 4-0 was the scoreline at Stamford Bridge when we last played a French team... Bordeaux, and I went to that
